“It would definitely suit an older couple who want to downsize but still want to maintain a base in this area of Oxford.

“The garden has been physically sub-divided, so they will have their own private area.

“It’s a beautiful flat which is situated on two levels, one of which is part of converted roof space. Although there is no roof terrace, there is a large balcony.

“We’ve already had quite a bit of interest from buyers and have started viewings, though there have been no bites yet. It may sound like the property is on the market for a lot of money, but £1.45m is on a par with what we would expect for a flat of this size – at what is the best address in town.”

And I'd expect the potential buyer to be from somewhere in outer space - or totally spaced out, man! Greedy property prices in Oxford have become plain DISGUSTING - and 'market forces' have more to do with those leeches such banks, estate agents, property developers and those who use homes to make loadsa filthy money - just like playing that well known board game! Whilst I don't think the flat in question is a council flat, there are many homes across Oxford which used to be the much 'social housing' (not to be conveniently confused with 'affordable housing' which refers to low-priced property to buy, not to rent) that have been sold-off to the private sector since Thatcher started the big bonanza (followed by 13 years of Labour government doing nothing to reverse the trend) and have never been replaced by successive Oxford City Councils. Ironically, many City and County Councillors allegedly have apparently bought Council Houses over the years, and helped worsen the acute shortage we now face on Oxford for City Council-owned social housing - the providers of choice by Council tenants a decade ago, and still preferred as being more secure than the less-rigorously controlled housing associations and private landlords. If only we had a Labour-led Oxford City Council ......

You said: ".....followed by 13 years of Labour government doing nothing to reverse the trend" followed by: " If only we had a Labour-led Oxford City Council ......" Spot the flaw there? If you think Labour are going to improve things, you are wrong. Lab/Con/Lib are all the same, in it for themselves, and screw the rest of us! If we had an independant council, or better, one COUNTY council which was independant and answered to local people, not Westminster, then we could solve this housing problem. Until then, vote LibLabCon and watch nothing happen.

I look at a older house like this in a city like Oxford and just think of the number of people, in the private sector, that will earn a good income undertaking skilled work on it. Then consider that if this was just one "band h" house rather than split into 5 "band g" flats, the council tax would be £3300 a year. But as its 5 flats each valued, probably in the "band g" range the income is around £12,500 a year. There are upsides for everyone in the city through other's fortune.
